I have gone through thisCompany A transfered to Company B on the 1st of the month. On the 2nd of the month a new director was appointed and went straight on with an obviously pre planned restructure. Holiday entitlement was no longer on top of bank holidays and three people in my department had their pay reviewed and lowered by several thousand pounds. They fought against it and all lost. There are far to many loop holes in TUPE but like they said, you can't protect someones terms and conditions forever and there is no set time period on TUPE.

No, it's that in 1990 they just drove past your house and said "It's worth 100k so it's a band whatever" without looking inside or anything. Actually it was only worth 80k in 1990 so it should be the band lower.
